The Leadership Mistake that's Destroying your Sales Team

Most leaders think their team needs more pressure... But what if the real problem is that your leadership style is quietly destroying their confidence?

In this episode of the Fitz & Franson Show, Fitz and Franson break down the leadership blind spot that shows up inside call centers, event teams, sales floors, install crews, and field service teams: unpredictable feedback, moving targets, and fear-based management.

They unpack why confidence is not hype... it is evidence. And when leaders constantly change the rules, only point out mistakes, or manage from emotion instead of objective feedback, teams stop performing with creativity and start operating in survival mode.

This one is for business owners, sales leaders, marketing leaders, and home improvement operators who want stronger teams, better accountability, and a culture that actually scales.

Big question from this episode:
Are you holding your team accountable… or are you moving the goalposts every time you get anxious?

What’s your take?
